Beautiful views and location. Paihia is in such a beautiful part of New Zealand. Norm and Shelagh were most welcoming. After the whole world has been locked down it was so nice to visit such a friendly and accommodating motel. Would definitely return.

Lovely hosts out dated accommodation beautiful view

Location fantastic. no breakfast but wasn't expecting breakfast. Lovely hosts cant fault them. Its was an out dated room. Needs to a bit of work. Only 2 channels on TV. Some things wasn't as clean as should have been, but over all good. Great location

Bit more eye to detail. Found a pie in the microwave from last people? It just needs updating but not a bad place to stay. Hosts are very accommodating & very Welcoming. Just don't expect to much from the room, but was clean enough.

very disappointing

wonderful views from our room

First impressions when entering the property we new it wasn’t going to be good. The check in office was very untidy and dirty and the surrounds outside the office needed some much needed TLC. Very old property definitely needs an update stuck in the seventies with the decor, beds where uncomfortable curtains in the rooms threadbare class sliding door to our room wouldn’t lock. The owners were very nice but I think it’s all to much for them to look after the property. it’s such a shame as it could be nice if they did some maintenance. very disappointing as the photos on bookings.com don’t match the property. the only positive for this hotel is the view and the pool was very clean.

wonderful stay. would definitely go back again and again.

We liked everything especially our hosts Norm and Shelagh. They both took time to show us round our apartment and explained where everything was and how things worked. the views across the bay and surrounding countryside were spectacular.

Would definitely stay again very comfortable.

lovely hosts , the bed was very comfortable which was great. View was amazing. As it was pet friendly it helped us so much as we had our 2 small dogs with us. Value for money.

TV was not good. only 2 clear Chanel’s. we love to relax watching tv during evening but was nothing much to watch.

Very good

The hosts were so friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home as well as our puppy. The rooms were really nice and clean and there was excellent utensils in the kitchen far more than anywhere else I have stayed.

I thought everything was great and I only have a suggestion. The bed spread, coach cover, and curtains made the room feel a bit dated, by just adding a new fresh bed spread I think it would really lift the place but otherwise it was perfect.

Very good

The view was INCREDIBLE - even on a rainy day. The driveway is long and step so the hotel has a very elevated outlook. The hosts were very friendly and approachable. We enjoyed out conversations with them and they made us feel very welcome. They happily loaned us a few dvds from their extensive collection which helped entertain our kids during a rainy day. The size of our unit was very generous and the rooms were well laid out and nicely furnished. Having a pool (although unheated) was an extra bonus.

We had a few old spiderwebs in the corners of the rooms and there was a long-term collection of dust in some places. We did find a piece of cracker under the bedside table and a bottle lid under the dining table. Not the end of the world though.

Best place to catch the sunsets, sea and rural views, quiet and welcoming

Unbeatable sea and rural views; large, solar-heated salt-water pool which was fabulous; wonderfully welcoming hosts and best of all, our dog was very welcome.

Beautiful location with magnificent view of sunrise over the mountains. Rooms were very clean and well maintained. Motel grounds were being worked on by owners but still remained unspoiled and beautiful. Waking each morning hearing the sound of Tui's and other bird species was priceless. Owners made us feel totally at home.

Great stay would definitely go there again with my own heater if during winter

The view, the sunrise was amazing to watch loved it, my only issue was the room was very cold even with a $10 heater on it was so cold, probably the floors because they were concrete.
